A tour to test my video equipment: The clicking noise in the video comes from a mount in the camera, which I have now secured with superglue and it is quiet.

The first part of the route was more suited to mountain bikers. It's not accessible with a dog trailer. It's approximately 500 meters long. It's recommended to use the road here.
